JDANEK Boot Camp is great. I use it to run Windows XP Home and surprisingly its faster then if i got a 400$ dell or toshiba. Great piece of software that i think people don't utilize enough. | |

SOFTWAREMANIAC MacBook Pro 13" late model. Snow Leopard and Windows 7 32-bit Professional(with Bootcamp 3.0 installed). Works pretty well actually. Just downloaded BootCamp 3.1 32-bit update. In reading through all of the material from the Apple site, should go pretty well. backed up the partition from the Mac side using Disk Utility with Compression checked (does it compress 65GB to 6GB? It is that good or does it have problems saving everything???). Installed BootCamp 3.1 and after a few seconds I got the following message: Program Compatibility Assistant that "This program might not have installed correctly". Opions are to Reinstall using recommended settings, This program installed correctly, or Cancel. Oh man, I clicked Cancel button and in bringing up the Bootcamp button on the Windows Taskbar it still indicates version 3.0! Any ideas? If I select "This program installed correctly" will that work? I wouldn't think it would... Any help/advice would be helpful.

BRIAN KENDIG On my MacBook Pro (Mid 2007), after I upgraded my Windows Vista 32-bit installation with Boot Camp 3.1, I got two error dialogs on every boot: Current script file: C:\Windows\Temp\_isTmp_{8675309}\nvdisp.nvu String being parsed: RemoveDeviceEx pci,VEN_10DE,Display Current script file: C:\Windows\Temp\_isTmp_{8675309}\nvdisp.nvu String being parsed: RemoveDriverStore C:\Windows\Inf\oem51.inf My system has nVidia 8600M GT graphics. I uninstalled the nVidia driver, downloaded a fresh copy from the nVidia web site and reinstalled, and that cleared up the problem.

EVERYDAY SOFTWARE Also wouldn't launch on a clean install of Windows 7 home premium 64 bit. But I did successfully use their upgrade CD helper app.

DRAECHEN Downloaded and installed this as a standalone which I had no luck running this on Win 7 professional. The program quit each time I launched it and gave the standard "do you want to search the internet for an answer..." I have bootcamp 3.0 installed so at first I thought it was because of this being installed so I went as far as to try and uninstall 3.0, then to install this, again without success. Additionally, the installer quit/gave the same response even when running from the Apple Software Update. The last attempt I made was running this in as "administrator" from the properties portion of the screen. For now I guess I have no choice but to stick with 3.0. Hopefully either Apple or someone comes up with a fix for this. For what it is worth, this is on a MB Pro 17 Late 2008 with 4 gb of ram.

STROB I don't understand this. Mac's bootcamp assistant still says it is meant to only install XP or Vista. If this is for the driver updates then why didn't Apple update the assistant in the latest software update?

ILGAZ Mac's bootcamp (in Utilities) is another thing, it does very complex stuff to make MS dinosaur OS to "see" a PC which it can install to. For example, Windows doesn't like secondary partitions, "no BIOS", "no CMOS" (sadly, they still exist on PC land). It just paves the way to Windows. It is rarely updated with OS X updates since it isn't really that complex. Windows portion of software (the one installs over your OS DVD) is the one needing updates. So, this update kicks in. I would still maintain the updates to graphics/sound drivers if I run Windows for games though. It is impossible to keep them up to date with Apple updates. It doesn't really mean one should skip boot camp updates since there are several other stuff to update exclusive to Apple.

MINDSNARE Much higher (too high) contrast now on Win7 and the update won't go away from the software-update application. Anyone else seeing this? Seems something got hosed with the color profiles. MacBook Early 2009 with 9400M

JAMISHMO Hi have this same problem. I tried to fix it in the Nvidia control panel as well as color calibration in the control panel, but the computer won't let me change anything. I can attempt to adjust gamma and color levels, and they last for a second, but then the system snaps them back. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

JAMISHMO Got it. Answer found here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10934440#10934440 Just needed to adjust digital vibrance. I thought I had tried that, but I guess not.

MINDSNARE Had seen that before, the digital vibrance was at 90%. i decreased that but it's still not like it was before 3.1

ILGAZ windows doesn't deserve the hassle and troubles coming with "cracking". If you really need Windows, buy some "basic" or "starter" edition. You also have OEM rights BTW, no need for box.

BLUESHEAD50 Did not look like it installed. After 2 minutes Win7 crashed.. It kept crashing after re-opening even after going to an earlier restore point. Thanks Apple! Looks like I get to waste a few hours doing a reinstall! Download this at your own Risk!

FVDG Simply does not run under my Windows 7. It starts - then I get the Windows message asking me if it was installed correctly, without ever installing. Om Mac Pro 2009 as well as under MacBook Pro.
